This represents a single credit at Postgraduate Level. While 6-day and 7-day courses also lead to a Diploma – Postgraduate, they accumulate 36 and 42 Credit Hours, respectively. Delegates and students who fail to gain the required level of pass, at Postgraduate Level will receive a Certificate of Attendance and Participation. The Certificate of Attendance and Participation will not count, for cumulative purpose, towards the Postgraduate Diploma. Courses carry varying credit values; some being double credit, triple credit, quad credit and 5-credit, etc. These, therefore, accumulate to a Postgraduate Diploma. As is explained, later, in this document, a Postgraduate Diploma is awarded to students and delegates who have achieved the minimum of 360 Credit Hours, within the required level of attainment. Credit Value and Credit Hours examples of Diploma – Postgraduate Courses are as follows: CCrreeddiitt VVaalluuee CCrreeddiitt H Hoouurrss Single-Credit 30-36 Double-Credit 60-72 Triple-Credit 90-108 Quad-Credit 120-144 10-Credit (X36 Credit-Hours) to 12Credit (X30 Credit-Hours) 360 Page 9 of 15 Advanced_Agricultural_Project_Management_(2)_Agricultural_Project_Development_Planning_Execution_and_Evaluation_London_Agricultural_Development_Project_Life_Cycle_Agricultural_Project_Design _Monitoring_Evaluation_Workflow_Procurement_Budgeting_Consistencies_Agricultural_Field_Trials_Participatory_Impact_Monitoring_PIM_Finance_Planning_Scheduling_Rapid_Rural_Appraisal_RRA_Parti cipatory_Rural_Appraisal_PRA_Project_Performance Advanced Agricultural Project Management (2): Agricultural Project Development, Planning, Execution and Evaluation - Leading to Diploma-Postgraduate in Advanced Agricultural Project Management (2), Accumulating to Postgraduate Diploma, Progressing to MA, MBA, MSc Other Credit Values are calculated proportionately. Because of the intensive nature of our courses and programmes, assessment will largely be in-course, adopting differing formats. These assessment formats include, but not limited to, in-class tests, assignments, end of course examinations. Based on these assessments, successful candidates will receive the Diploma – Postgraduate, or Postgraduate Diploma, as appropriate. In the case of Diploma – Postgraduate, a minimum of 70% overall pass is expected. In order to receive the Award of Postgraduate Diploma, candidate must have accumulated at least the required minimum ‘credit-hours’, with a pass (of 70% and above) in at least 70% of the courses taken. Delegates and students who fail to achieve the requirement for Postgraduate Diploma, or Diploma - Postgraduate - will be given support for 2 re-submissions for each course. Those delegates who fail to achieve the assessment requirement for the Postgraduate Diploma or Diploma - Postgraduate - on 2 resubmissions, or those who elect not to receive them, will be awarded the Certificate of Attendance and Participation.

M Mooddeess ooff SSttuuddyy ffoorr PPoossttggrraadduuaattee D Diipplloom maa CCoouurrsseess There are three delivery formats for Postgraduate Diploma Courses, as follows: 1. Intensive Full-time Mode (3 months); 2. Full-time Mode (6 month); 3. Video-Enhanced On-Line Mode. Whichever study mode is selected, the aggregate of 360 Credit Hours must be achieved.

In this regard, it is important to note that short courses vary in length, the minimum being 5 days (Diploma – Postgraduate) – equivalent to 30 Credit Hours, representing one credit. Twelve 5-day short courses, representing twelve credits or the equivalent of 360 Credit Hours are, therefore, required for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. A six-day course (Diploma – Postgraduate) is, therefore, equivalent to 36 hours Credit Hours, representing one credit. Therefore, ten short courses, of this duration, equates to the required 360 Credit Hours, qualifying for the Award of Postgraduate Diploma. While double-credit courses last between ten and fourteen days, triple-credit courses range from fifteen to nineteen days. Similarly, quad-credit courses are from sixteen to nineteen days. On this basis, the definitive calculation on the Award requirement is based on the number of hours studied (aggregate credit-value), rather than merely the number of credits achieved. This approach is particularly useful when a student or delegate studies a mixture of courses of different credit-values. For those delegates choosing the accumulative route, it is advisable that at least two credits be attempted per year. This will ensure that the required number of credit hours for the Postgraduate diploma is achieved within the six-year time frame.

Students’ choice of Dissertation area and topic must closely reflect their specialism and expected Award Title; The Postgraduate Degree Award Board, which will convene twice during each Academic Year, will determine whether the rules have been complied with, in this regard, and will, where necessary, change a registered Award Title, to reflect the reality of a programme choice; The length of the Dissertation will be between 15,000 and 20,000 words. Higher or lower limits will be accepted through special dispensation only, tabled through their Dissertation Supervisors; Students will each be assigned one Main Dissertation Supervisor, for formal tuition, and a Dissertation Mentor, who will provide them with informal advice, in conjunction with their Main Dissertation Supervisor; Each Dissertation Mentor will also mediate the relationship between the Student and his or her Dissertation Supervisor; Students’ Viva Voce, or Oral, Examination will be conducted within 3 months of the submission of their Dissertation; The Dissertation Examination will be conducted by an External and an Internal Examiner; The External Examiner will be drawn from a recognized University and will be an Academic in the Discipline being examined, who is not otherwise associated with HRODC Postgraduate Training Institute; Page 14 of 15 Advanced_Agricultural_Project_Management_(2)_Agricultural_Project_Development_Planning_Execution_and_Evaluation_London_Agricultural_Development_Project_Life_Cycle_Agricultural_Project_Design _Monitoring_Evaluation_Workflow_Procurement_Budgeting_Consistencies_Agricultural_Field_Trials_Participatory_Impact_Monitoring_PIM_Finance_Planning_Scheduling_Rapid_Rural_Appraisal_RRA_Parti cipatory_Rural_Appraisal_PRA_Project_Performance Advanced Agricultural Project Management (2): Agricultural Project Development, Planning, Execution and Evaluation - Leading to Diploma-Postgraduate in Advanced Agricultural Project Management (2), Accumulating to Postgraduate Diploma, Progressing to MA, MBA, MSc The Internal Supervisor will be an HRODC Postgraduate Training Institute’s tutor, who is neither the Students’ main Dissertation Supervisor or their Dissertation Mentor; The submission date of a Masters Dissertation is expected to be within 12 calendar months of a candidate’s initial registration for the Degree but can be extended, on application, to a period not exceeding 24 months; In the event that Students are not successful on their first attempt, they will be given the opportunity to make minor amendments to, or revise, their Dissertation, with the guidance of their Dissertation Supervisors.
